UNPROFESSIONAL GESTURES

   There are many hand symbols and gestures out there that mean many different things but the one main one I'll be talking about is the peace symbol. This hand gesture is pretty much unprofessional just about about everywhere. Here in America you might think that the gesture is just a harmless way of saying "what's up" or "goodbye", but think about being at a job interview and holding up this sign to the person hiring. Do you really believe that you'll be getting a job after beginning your interview with such foul advertisement. This symbol might be cool to to around your homies or home girls, unless they're from Great Britain or Australia. If you do that hand gesture to someone in one of those countries you might get a fist in the face. In there eyes your holding up something just as insulting as the middle finger maybe even worse. That's why you should always keep hand and body gestures professional because you never know what your saying in someone else's eyes. Here is a link to find out more about gestures that don't mean what you think.
